What is up with people who swap religion as often as they swap lovers?

Many people on this board state they used to be Christian but converted to Atheism...or used to be Muslim but converted to Christian. Or used to be Christian and converted to Muslim, or Wicca, Pagan or Pagan to Muslim...How can you even understand a religion when you treat them like a booty call? How many swap religions when you swap partners? How many are so weak in thier faith that they go with what ever their "lover" is doing? Or is it an attention sort of thing...Oh Mommy I'm going to be an Atheist so you will pay attention to me.....

Update:

Kathryn & angk....I hate to tell you but your men are not true Christians. A saved Christian would never date, much less marry and atheist. It goes against all the teachings of Jesus Christ. They are just as Atheist as you if they are having sex with you.

    I see that all the time at school. It is especially true of the girls. I have seen a few girls "convert to Satanism" just to get laid. I find it pathetic and very common in needy chicks who have zero self esteem. The biggie right now are the girls converting to Islam. I find it hilarious. TYhey never got through the bible, now they think they will read the Koran and pray 5 times a day...LOL

    After much study and thought, 35 years ago I converted from Christianity to Judaism. It has never entered my mind to change again. It is where I belong. If a person keeps changing religions, he must be looking for something he cannot find. Hopefully, he is studying alot before he changes. And, hopefully, he will find what he is looking for.

    Religious seekers many times covert to different religions and try on different spiritual paths. It helps them find out about themselves. Because of the wealth of information on the internet, its much easier to find out about things you might be interested in. This I think is one of the Biggest factors in the coversion rate. It makes sense that people are now being exposed to new religions that they might tend to question more the religion that they were brought up in.

    perhaps these people are on their journey to enlightenment and have not found the exact path they want to follow. there are those who will always be searching for something better than they have at the present time. personally until I decided to incorporate some Ancient Way Belief System Rituals and Ceremonies with traditional

    Christian Religious Belief Systems I was not satisfied either. with these being combined I am very pleased and satisfied with the results.but my personal Belief System would not work for others because of my idiosyncrasies.

    Not everyone is strong in their faith. I was raised Catholic, but a friend of mine convinced me to be a Wiccan. I tried that for five years before going back to the Catholic faith. I have no plans on changing religions again since I am now stronger in my faith then I ever was.

    Stating someone was raised in one religion, and then converted, DOES NOT mean they are "changing religion like Bed Partners."

    And if someone changed their beliefs more than once in their lifetime, what the hell business is it of yours?

    You're just upset that you can't MAKE everyone a narrow minded Christian @sshole like yourself.

    Grow up.

    I've been an atheist for as long as I can remember. I was taken to a Christian church when I was a child, but the stories I learned in Sunday School didn't seem any more real than the bedtime stories that Mom read to me at night. My husband does believe in God, so I guess your theory isn't panning out too well here.

    Perhaps they are searching for the right path. If you join a religion you could know immediately if it is right or wrong for you, or it could take years. I think you should be more accepting of, and maybe even encouraging to those trying to find a good religion.

    You make a lot of assumptions, girl. How is switching from one religion to another excessive?

    In actual fact, it demonstrates thought.

    But hey, you keep on clinging to your own faith, and be a good little sheep.

    For me, it was much less like a "booty call" and much more like getting divorced from an abuser, taking a break, then finding real love later.

    Christian to Pagan here.
